We need a better recruitment story than the ‘born teacher’ schoolsweek.co.uk/we-need-a-bett… @StarTSHubs @NatInstTeaching #teachandthrivenorthwest

@GriffinhtHelen @RetirementTales Lucky you! Advice included spreading individual pages across the staff room so the ink didn’t run. Of course we were all as high as kites by the end 😂

One of my very first tweets was sbout Banda machines.
Remember that particular colour, which printed many a worksheet?
It was called aniline purple.
And you can smell it from here...

"But Geoff, what is a Banda?", our younger followers have been asking. This is a Banda! It was how we copied worksheets and letters in another millennium. It was manual. You needed a carbon master copy and some ink that caused much excitement!

@RetirementTales And I remember having to change the timing of the school day to accommodate Neighbours!

Our post about children going home for lunch sparked one of my favourite threads of all! It left some of our younger followers stunned and it left some of us older folk reminiscing about simpler, different times.

Do you remember when it was quite normal for children to go home from school for their lunch? (Some teachers would go home too!) A short walk or bike ride, lunch with a parent or two and maybe even a bit of TV before the afternoon session. I think the respite was very healthy.

Repost to share the reminder this #WorldSuicidePreventionDay 👇
Sometimes the hardest words to say are the most important. By having more open conversations, we give people the chance to express how they feel and get the support they need. It could even save a life. 💚

Do you welcome @Keir_Starmer's plans to agree to a reciprocal deal whereby European nationals under 30 can live & work in the UK for up to 3 years & British under-30s enjoy the same opportunities anywhere in the EU?

🇬🇧Dear @RachelReevesMP so here’s another ‘money saving’ idea:
You MPs are now on £91k pa.
Do YOU need to ‘claim’ for heating?
Do YOU need subsidised meals and drinks?
Do YOU need ‘mortgage relief’ etc?
If we have to do w/out our Winter fuel, how about a little solidarity?
